Wherever you see an ad for Coopers, you’ll see something completely unique.

Coopers Brewery, born from a cobbler, turned stonemason and turned brewer, has launched a brand campaign bringing to life hundreds of original assets through a collaboration between Special, Glue Society nd hundreds of fans.

The independent family-owned brewery has been doing its own thing for more than 162 years and wanted to show the country that ‘Forever Original’ isn’t just a tagline, by bringing to life hundreds of ads that are certified one of one originals.

Creators, artists, originators and Coopers drinkers from across the country tapped in to create their own beer-inspired originals. Sheep, scrap metal, ice, pastels and plasticine were just some of the chosen mediums. Even the campaign soundtrack is an original, brought to life using Coopers stubbies as the instrument.

This resulted in an outdoor campaign where every billboard, bus shelter, airport, rail, hand painted mural, and even digital placement is a unique one-of-a-kind creation.

The campaign extends across social, cinema and film and wherever you see an ad for Coopers, you’ll see something completely unique.

Special ECD Ryan Fitzgerald said "originality means many things to many people, but one thing is for sure, it’s a virtue that the world needs now more than ever".

"Coopers doubling down on this long-held belief sets an exciting path for the brand to continue to walk the walk, originally," he said.

Coopers National marketing manager Kate Dowd said originality has always been part of the brand's DNA.

"This campaign exemplifies what being Forever Original means - starting with a beer glass, a recognisable piece of iconography in our category and bringing it to life in unique, original ways.” she said.
